Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

Day rates down 60%, how far back the industry has gone in a few months.

Rates already down by 60% on last year.

Day company man job advertised this week in Aberdeen for £500.00 a day with already over 200 applications.
Absolutely ridiculous rates.
This is the reality of what were heading into the next few years.

And this, after they laid some people off near Bristol! How will we ever support the lucrative oil and gas market in the Home Counties and West Country? That’s just short sighted.

What happened in Aberdeen? Why lose all the work? Why? Why lay off so many people? Why oil prices go down? Why ask stupid questions?
Why Stoneywood big mess? Who did this? Why Aberdeen property price go down? Why? Who do this? Why lose all drilling’s work? Why Decom not working? Why? Who did this? Why Baker is bad company and lay off good people ? Explain that? Is this or that? Why is raining today? Who fault is it?

Evens the score? Dude, you are either easily appeased or don’t have much to complain about if some lame a– sh– posting on this message board is enough to ‘even the score’.

With all this bad news about the industry and wages and Aberdeen I would’ve thought everyone would be glad to be free of it. I am therefore really puzzled that these people can find the time to bitterly sh–post on this site.

This is the fault of Aberdeen and the people there. I am so glad I no longer work there because they have caused a global depression and had a hand in covid19 and they also made me lose my work. I have now had to move back to Dundee thanks to them

Now I am off to see my doctor to get my daily injections.

Maybe but even last year they were on £1000.00 a day min with alot on way more.
The simple thing is If the main man on the rig is now on 500.00 a day what will happen to everyone else be getting cut too , this is a long term job too.

Not like most at the moment which is 1 or 2 trips.

Drillers are getting offered 350 a day at the moment ????.

13 hours a day, high risk, night shift, travel , long trips, c-ap food, and absolutely zero job protection for the same as a taxi driver makes a day. ??

Everyone is leaving the industry,
I left 6 months ago.
I can make way more money as a electrician than I can offshore now, home every night and not stuck on a rig full of waxks for 70% of my life.

  1. 00 a day is a joke of a rate .

Roustabouts are now on 180.00 a day you get more at aldi .... oil industry what a joke
